I have gotten the nod from the lovely ms Moxie to distribute the “axis of asshole” logo, and while it hasn’t won the official contest yet, I think it’s worth throwing on a few tee-shirts anyway. Right click and save as to your heart’s content, folks!
Well, sure. Over at Vman’s place he’s talking about general blog suckage. And he’s absolutely right. The vast majority of blogs are like giant Electrolux vacuum cleaners, atop which perch feral cats. They suck at one end, blow at the other, and bite in the middle.We can’t all be Mark Twain. Hell, we can’t even all be Walter Mitty. Maybe ten blogs I read are substantively worth reading every single day, the rest I read because they amuse me. Vman’s blog has always been a source of some amusement simply because of the twisted humor, the strange links, the bizzarre turn of phrase. THe stories are good, the nembutol-induced dreams better. Myself, I don’t have any illusions. I write for the two people who come here every day by mistake and hope I make them smile once in a while, but I figure I have five good posts here, and all five were accidental or driven by unbridled rage. I appreciate it every time someone clicks through to here, and I like it when people comment. It’s like having an open conversation with friends, which is why I immediately ban all assholes. You wouldn’t let those people in your living room, I don’t want ’em on my blog.
So, yeah, Vman. You are spot on as usual. Don’t mean I don’t enjoy the hell out of your blog. And Tommy has something to say to you:
“Guys ask me, don’t I get burned out? How can you get burned out doing something you love? I ask you, have you ever got tired of kissing a pretty girl? ” Tommy LaSorda
Over at Moxie’s place, and here at Steve’s, there’s a couple fine folks referring to the likes of Moxie and Ann Althouse as the “axis of asshole”.
Now, I’ve been an asshole all of my life. I was born an asshole, and I have worked at it. And frankly, a lot of my friends are assholes. I was so objectionable that I was the only child my priest never tried to molest. I think, if THESE people are assholes, then frankly, I’m proud to be one. In fact, I have a logo I’d like to use, courtesy (in concept) of Kurt Vonnegut, the pacifist asshole himself. Let me know what you think!
